  • This is such a great song! Let's learn this one together - first the basic chords, then the main riff just like the piano on the recording. As always, we'll do a full playalong toward the end of the video that you can choose to play at your level. Fun!
    And.....we'll be playing along with the fabulous BEATBUDDY drum machine pedal and we'll be using the amazing AEROS Loop Studio pedal from Singular Sound. Play along with me!

    learning this tune for me is important for a few reasons and Shane made it fun and easy. I always wanted to sing but didn’t like the sound of my own voice however for unknown reasons I can sing most of warren zevons songs. Big surprise to me how it actually sounds ok singing werewolves of London which gives me the confidence to keep on singing whatever I want. Pavarotti I am not but I can stay in tune and I have loved warren zevons music since I first heard the excitable boy album. Thanks again Shane for teaching this tune

    My favorite thing about your GREAT videos is your excitement. It is contagious and makes everything fun and enjoyable. I have played guitar a LONG time and do a lot of different stuff. I recently started taking lessons with a younger guy who is a music theory wiz to help me fill in the gaps of how and why I am playing what I play. Hanging out with him has brought out the fun and excitement in playing again. I feel the exact same thing when I watch your videos. It brings out the JOY of playing. Thank you!

      Thanks Rob - glad you enjoyed. Not a stupid question at all, many people have asked about that. You can plug the BeatBuddy into an amp or even better into a little mixer and then out into powered speakers. That’ll give you these amazing drums in stereo. Fabulous. Cheers,
